Be Lifted High

Michael W. Smith

Sin and its ways grow oldAll of my heart turns to stone

And I'm left with no strength to ariseHow You need to be lifted high

Sin and its ways lead to painLeft here with hurt and with shameSo no longer will I leave your side

Jesus, you be lifted high

You be lifted highYou be lifted high

You be lifted high in my lifeOh God

And I fall to my kneesSo it's you that they see

Not I,Jesus, you be lifted high

And even now that I'm inside your hands

Help me not to grow prideful again

Don't let me forsake sacrificeJesus you be lifted high

And if I'm blessed with the riches of kings

How could I ever think that it was meFor you brought me from darkness to

lightJesus, you be lifted high

You be lifted highYou be lifted high

You be lifted high in my lifeOh God

And I fall to my kneesSo it's you that they see

Not IJesus, you'll be lifted high
